I'm not worried about the judgment calls. I don't expect their judgment to be perfect. What I do expect is that if there's a situation where the application of the rule is black and white i.e. it's either an illegal formation or it's not, you better believe I expect perfection. Those are the type of calls that cost people money, or worse yet, jobs. There are supposed to be checks and balances in place to prevent those mistakes from being made. I don't want any more statements of "oopsie daisy we goofed and cost your team a game" the following Monday. I want the rules applied properly.

The one complaint I have about BC: Orange is a color that looks way different depending on what it's contrasted with so the orange on the home looks way less vibrant than the orange on the road white uniform plus the tramp stamp is garbage Otherwise that road white uniform is gorgeous. Especially that helmet. The home uniform is disgusting

You 100% nailed it.

I love them BC got a tramp stamp! ahhahahaha

http://www.theprovince.com/sports/getting+killed+media+fans+over+perception+poor/11912890/story.html Maybe if it was, Glen. Understand what? The referees are not doing a good job. At all. The fact that they demoted like half a dozen (which is almost 15% of the overall staff) after the season should tell you that much. This article and his quotes make Johnson look so ridiculous, in my opinion. I don't doubt it's a tough job, but as far as accountability to the public, whether it be media or fans, referees are the most bulletproof individuals in the CFL. Sure, they get bad things written about them. So what? They're not like players, coaches or general managers in the sense that they have to step up and answer for their mistakes in front of a reporter or a microphone. But year in, year out they continue to blow ball games. Now he wants to say "poor us"? Get real.

Shologan? Wow. Messed that up. lol one second

My Canadians on the gameday roster: RB - Harris, Lochard FB - Normand OL - Goossen, Chungh, Neufeld, Keeping REC - Kohlert, Bastien, Feoli-Gudino DL - Shologan, Westerman, Thomas, Corney LB - Waggoner, Briggs, Hurl DB - Jones, Sherman, Loffler LS - Rempel

I don't know in what world you could possibly say Rush is better until they actually both get out on the field, but I suspect this is you just jumping the gun on a guy like Gauthier because you didn't like the pick to begin with and now your opinions are going to be crafted to fit that agenda. I honestly don't know who is better between Rush or Gauthier, I'm sure the coaching staff doesn't either until they both get into camp and start to absorb the roles and responsibilities our staff will want them to look after ... but hey, whatever floats your boat. I really like the Gauthier pick for what it's worth. Every guy like a James Green, Marc Beswick or Daryl Townsend has a role in the CFL and with the build of our roster right now, I'm happy to see us bring in a guy who brings those attributes and a reckless abandon on specials.

A lot of your cuts are interesting. Not sure why you'd want to cut Cronk and Normand. i see you've chosen Gauthier as your sacrificial lamb this season.

Best name drafted is OL DJ Sackey I hope he gives up a bunch of sackeys

Trent Canada also: have you seen both videos? the popular one is the one where he jumps out, but there's another one floating around where he does it backwards

Reading between the lines, it sure sounds like they were going to trade up with either Calgary or Ottawa to grab Couture.

He probably would've been a late first, early second. Definitely doesn't make it past BC at 12 (in my opinion)

Correct but technically that wouldn't apply to Singleton.

I would be very surprised if someone getting a last minute offer days after a mini camp (after initially not being offered one) got ANY signing bonus.

He was offered one. By the sounds of it, he may not necessarily be taking the offer (and it's hard to blame him)

He did live here for quite some time, I'm not sure of the exact timeline but I know for a fact he was residing in Winnipeg because he was "renting" (a term I'll use loosely, since you actually have to end up paying your rent for it really to be considered renting) from a friend of mine. Came out drinking with us a few times. What a mess.

They didn't. It is.

I just don't like Brescacin

Worst case Ontario.

I hope you did.

You forgot Corney.

Exactly what I'm hoping also.

You're looking for something that isn't there, dude. I didn't criticize you at all, I'm just explaining why you've gotten hassled in the past. You'd be well served by acknowledging that I don't have anywhere near the kind of personal vendetta against you that you think I do. To quote you, "I have an opinion, I state it and it's done."

I'd like to see us go after Fuller.
